To The Savage Family:
Let God's deep ;ove and understanding help you in your time of sorrow and grief.
For He is there to ease the pain and bring your sorrowing heart relief. We knew your father, Bubba when we stay in Blackbottom. He was a kind and loving father to his children. Every year when we would come home to visit we would always ask about how he was doing. When we find out that he was missing we begin to go a prayer fast seeking God for closure.
Always remember your Dad was a hard working man and wanted something out of life. May the Lord take you in his arms and be there for you like your Dad did.
You will always be in our prayers.
His Servants,
Deacon Robert & Evangelist Brenda Edwards
